Description

Speed up everyday tasks with simple shortcuts. It’s like speed dial for apps.

Launch Center Pro saves you time by launching complex actions in a single tap.

Message a loved one, search Yelp for the nearest coffee shop, jump straight to the camera in Instagram, all with just a flick of your thumb. Create shortcuts for email, Safari, Twitter, Facebook, phone or FaceTime calls, Google searches, and more. If you do it on your iPhone constantly, Launch Center Pro will make it easier and faster.

“Launch Center Pro is an app of verbs. Search. Shoot. Call. Text. Add... With a simple tap-and-slide, you can launch apps, perform actions and more... It's so simple and fast that before long your muscle memory takes over and you don't even have to look. ” —Dave Caolo - TUAW

“Perhaps the highest praise I can give Launch Center Pro is that it finally kicked Safari out of my dock...” —Lex Friedman - Macworld

Sample shortcuts:

- Call a loved one- Message a GIF to a friend- Take a photo and message it to a group- Email your boss a report from Dropbox- Quickly search Wikipedia- Scan a barcode and search on Amazon- Jump right to your favorite website- Create a new item in OmniFocus- Search Twitter using Tweetbot- And so much more...

Launch Center Pro now works with over 100k apps!

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Launch Center Pro is run in the background for just a few seconds when entering or leaving an iBeacon region or geofence. If you use iBeacons or geofences and are concerned about battery life, keep an eye on the new Battery Usage section of the Settings app.

Due to the shutdown of Parse.com, Launch Center Pro no longer supports direct integration with IFTTT. We apologize for the inconvenience. All data and user accounts will be permanently deleted by Parse as it shuts down the service.

IFTTT now has an iOS app that does much of what was supported in Launch Center Pro. If you need to create more complex workflows with IFTTT, give the Workflow app a try.

Needs polish, especially on iPad

Does what it says it does, though the design seems stale, and the iPad version only works in portrait mode, and the iPad icon doesn’t load (you only see the wire framework placeholder app logo).

Still very good

A great app for productivity that’s been in my bottom bar for years. Not much change in the features aside from adding more compatible apps. Unfortunately you can no longer access specific things in the settings app although I suspect through no fault of the developers. One feature it had a couple of years ago, that I miss when creating a new action, was the listing of exclusively installed apps as opposed to searching for the one you’re looking for among the thousands of possible apps.
